Rafah got bombed. People are being burnt alive. Children have lost their limbs including their heads.
If you've been putting off donating, posting, boycotting, any kind of activism, you have to do it now, the people of Palestine can't wait. We all must scream at the top of our lungs because they can't. Their throats are full of smoke and blood

more good news from tiktok: they’ve started blocking celebrities.
they’re calling it block party 2024. just blocking and ignoring countless celebrities who havent said shit about palestine. influencers, actors, anyone who went to the met gala, whatever, they’re getting blocked. and people keep talking about how cathartic it is, how good it feels, how they never realized they could DO that. there was some kind of subconscious law against blocking famous people, but it’s broken, and people are LOVING it. and it’s WORKING. a social media/digital advertising coordinator was talking about how ad companies are PANICKING, because they can’t accurately target anymore. so many big influencers, including fucking LIZZO started talking about palestine the MOMENT their follower counts started going down. and the best part? no one is forgiving them. lizzo posted a tiktok asking people to donate to palestinian families, and all the comments just said you’re a multimillionaire. put your money where your mouth is. blocked.
i feel like i’m witnessing the downfall of celebrity culture, right here right now. people are waking up.

Remember, these celebs wouldn’t even piss on you if you were on fire. They do not care if you live or if you die. So what’s stopping you from blocking them? Are you really riding their dick like that?

The amount of people clutching their pearls over a movement that essentially says 'if celebrities can't be bothered to care about humanitarian issues that don't affect them directly, I can't be bothered to care about them' is genuinely weird.

"Yeah, block celebrities for not speaking about Palestine"
You'd have to be the stupid3st person alive if you're actully convinced that blocking celebrities is having any sort of positive impact or making any kind of change!
Do you really think the kids under rubble in gaz4 are concerned with the number of followers Kim Kardashian has!?
WHERE TF WAS THIS ENERGY WHEN WOMEN AND GIRLS IN IRAN WERE (AND STILL ARE) GETTING K1LLED FOR NOT COVERING THEIR HAIR!?
WHERE TF WAS THIS ENERGY WHEN GLOBAL TEMPERATURES REACHED RECORD BREAKING NUMBERS AND GOVERNMENTS WERE STILL FUNDING LITERAL PLANET DESTROYING OIL PROJECTS!???(THEY'RE STILL DOING THAT!)
WHERE TF WAS THIS ENERGY WHEN STUDIES CAME OUT REVEALING THAT YOU ALL ARE FUNDING THE G3N0CIDE OF BILLIONS OF FARM ANIMALS FOR A FKING BURGER, WHICH IS LEADING TO INSANE AIR POLLUTION, HABITAT LOSS AND SPECIES EXTINCTION!???
WHERE TF WAS THIS ENERGY WHEN UGANDA CREATED A D3ATH PENALTY BILL FOR BEING LESBIAN OR GAY? (ITS LITERALLY CALLED "K1LL THE GAYS BILL"). WHERE WERE YOU WHEN BISEXUALS IN SOUTH AFRICA WERE HELPING MEN LURE LESBIANS OUT OF HIDING TO GET R4PED!???
But when it's P4lestine, suddenly everyone's an activist!? Drop the act and get off your fking high horse!
Now it's "where are the feminists when women in gaza need pads", "where are the lgbt+ activists when gay people in Palestine are dy1ng" YOU LITERALLY DON'T GAF ABOUT PALESTINIANS! You're just using their suffering to throw shade at people you already didn't like!
We all know you don't give any other oppressed group going through just as much, THIS level of attention and "support"!
This is a trend!!!! A trend that will go away and you all will go back to acting like the terrible hypocritical human beings that you are!

Recently it came to my attention that on tiktok and maybe other places but I think mostly on tiktok there's become this block party thing where people are mass blocking celebrities for not talking about social issues mostly Palestine. Firstly i just have to say block who ever you want and it's great that people are standing up for what they think is right, but what celebrity is making most of their money on social media? Why isn't there a don't stream these artists or watch these shows/movies thing why is it block these celebrities on social media? A guy said he was blocking Drake, and I'm sure it will upset him but that's a platform for him to talk to fans, if you are still streaming his music buying his merch going to his shows that how he makes money not social media. Again fully support people doing what they want but I think it could be more effective if you attack a different revenue stream depending on the person.

What is the blockout2024 movement?
The blockout2024 movement, also called the digitine (a portmanteau of the words digital and guillotine), is an online protest, where people are blocking celebrities and other rich or influential figures en masse, for a variety of reasons, including not speaking out about the situation in Palestine.
The movement started on May 6, the day of the Met gala, when influencer and internet celebrity Haley Kalil (who you may know as "haleyybaylee", her handle) went to the Met gala to interview attendees, in an elaborate dress, in which she videoed herself saying "let them eat cake", a quote often attributed (wrongly) to Marie Antoinette, when talking about starving people in france.
Tumblr media
Tiktok user @/ladyfromtheoutside made a video, where she coined the term digitine, blocked Haley, then said "Vive la révolution!".
Not long after, many people then started commenting on how much alike the hunger games this was, with rich people paying $75,000 to dress up and party while many people across the globe are dying, and those who have enough wealth and influence to help are doing... Nothing. It did not help the celebrities cases that Palestine was belong bombed during the Met gala, and that the song 'Hind's hall' was also released on that day.
With the movement sparked, people started blocking any celebrities who had not spoken out for Palestine, and accounts started appearing, releasing lists of people to block each day (you can find these if you look up 'Blockout2024').
While some people have their doubts about whether or not this will actually work, it is likely too early to tell, and many celebrities buy followers, so it will be difficult to notice a difference. However, even regardless of the Palestinian genocide and wealth gap that celebrities are symbols of, it is likely healthy to block them anyway, as you are then not following someone who will only make you feel worse about the live you have, when theirs is only based on either generational wealth or luck.
Should I still block them if I don't follow them?
Yes, as then they can't advertise to you.
Should I block them all at once, or should I block them as the lists come out?
While both are useful, blocking based on the daily lists does have a bigger noticeable impact on the celebrities for them. However, do not let this stop you from blocking them whatever way you please.
Note: Haley has apologised, however if she didn't understand the impact of the quote in the first place, she is still extremely out of touch

Celebrities are disgusting, they are greedy, they are selfish.. stop pretending they are anything more and stop idolizing one of the worst things a person can be.. look at the things they buy and the things they wear and remind yourself where that money instead could have gone to.. they don't care about you, I can't stress that enough, they profit off you and nothing more.. blockout2024 is incredible, please participate... Palestine is dying, they did nothing with their power and money and that is nothing short of evil.. block them, stop giving them money and give to Palestine and other people in need.. don't be like a celebrity and give your money and attention to the people that matter, because they sure as hell won't.. they never have

These billionaires & millionaires need to take a harsh look at themselves and get their shit together fr. Yet again (& I’m not the only one) scrolling by more donations that I really cannot help. Not anymore & I hate it. I’ve been trying to get a good job for almost 2 years since I got my Bachelors. I’m still unemployed. I cannot give any more money & I just want to cry bc I can’t help & the people WHO WILL LITERALLY STILL BE RICH EVEN AFTER HELPING JUST A FEW FAMILIES are not doing anything at all or purposely not enough. Tired is an understatement. Eat the rich.

I'm loving these comments! Glad I'm not the only one calling out this stupidity!
Blocking celebrities on social media isn't doing Palestine any favors! It's just petty cancel culture!

Belgrade Serbia - Music, Galleries, History
Triangle of Serbian National Institutions Nikola Pašić Sq.– Elorna It will be fantastic returning to Belgrade! Mediterranean resort towns like Datça are healthy and relaxing, but after a rejuvenating stay, I’m happy to be back in a city. The trip from Tukey to Serbia will be tiring – Datça – Marmaris – Istanbul – Belgrade – but I’m not complaining. The worst part is packing heavy winter clothes…
